Speaker 1: Talk about this last picture in question, and then some trailers.
So Mike asks, uh, super mixes, which is the following
upcoming TV or big shows? Are you guys most excited
for Peacemaker, Alien or Stranger Things? Gen V? Feel free
to rank them if you watch them all? Yeah, I
guess if I will, Austin, we'll talk about some of
those trailers. Will do the TV ones first, Terror give
me a ranking of Peacemaker, Alien, Trainer Things, gen V
from excited to most excited least.
Speaker 2: So Alien Earth is probably at the number one aries
that trailer definitely.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, just the TV shows the.
Speaker 2: TV sorry, Stranger Things specials.
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, Stranger Things will be next. I'm sorry. What
were the other two? Peace Maker and gen V, Peacemaker
and gen V.
Speaker 2: I probably put gen V at the bottom and Peacemaker
right after that, like in excitement.
Speaker 3: So gen V is four, three.
Speaker 1: And so forth. Yeah, this is tough because we'll talk
about I think gen V is fourth for me. I
think it's a little bit of I didn't last love
that last season of the Boys, and I I think
I'm just more curious. I feel gen V did a
very good job and I really enjoyed that show, don't
get me wrong, but I feel like they are still
a bit more of a box than the other two.
I think I would go gen V peace Maker like
I I definitely could shuring your things at top because
I'm not like other people that are like, oh it's
been so long, like I don't even care, amore say no,
I still care, Like I like all those characters. Sure
they look a little older, whatever. I'm best. Cels story
goes Peacemaker and Alien Earth is a big toss up
because that trailer we're talking about today. I've said this
before the multi times I've seen posters and teasers, and
then we got that only that one other trailer, and
I just said, like I love no Holly love Legions.
So no matter what, I know, the show is gonna
be good. It's gonna be slow, but it's gonna be good.
But nothing had hit me yet to get me really excited.
The trailer that came out today. That was a superb trailer.
I'm very excited for Alien Earth now, like that felt
other than some shots on on the planet, but that
felt like cinematic as far as like the movie. Right.
Speaker 2: I'm the score too, that they used that track was
really cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I that got me up a lot. Also,
it's like, I love that trailer and I love No Holly,
But I think with Peacemaker there's gonna be some really
interesting DCU stuff. Whether I like it or not, I
don't know, And that's why I feel like it toughs.
I guess, gun to my head, I'll put Alien Earth
at second because I'm just a bit more curious about
were peacepaper. We've already gone, right, so other than it
being in New Universe, we kind of know what it's
gonna happen for the most part. But that'll be fun
to see those rankings after the fact. But yeah, Alien
Earth being told about that trail first, Yeah, absolutely loved it.
Very excited to see where they go. I love the setup,
like very easy plot of you know, this had five
species and Nounce crashed and they're gonna try and catch
them all. But uh no, I'm I'm very excited. I
think those are gonna be some very interesting show or
reviews because we've never had like an alien like we
did the Alien Retro Predirector. But this is a TV show,
not a movie, right, so and I we're very curious
to the pace and I'm gonna be curious to see
what they do with they can and gonna be serious
curious to how other people take the show, like the
alien one. I'm and you know, for the most part,
I think it like I said, I think when they
looked on the planet, are on the on the planet
like a little cheap, But the stuff in place and
the Jesus the stuff in space and the stuff in
the ship, we're looking good. So yeah, how are you
feeling of this alien riture there?
Speaker 2: I think it looked fantastic and just the idea that
they're actually crashing on Earth. And I mean, we already
know that the alien hasn't been found. I guess according
to company records if you look at aliens, because they
don't know what that thing is. But then it's it's
hard to know how this fits in the timeline with
David going off on his mission and creating these eggs,
and I think I think it comes down to something
that I read where they were talking about how no
matter what the evolutionary line of this black goo is
just ultimately going to the zenomorph this creature. So whether
or not David created the eggs that's one thing, but
I don't think it has an effect on humanity finding
eggs elsewhere and then bringing those eggs on the shift
with five of their different alien species. And I keep
seeing like photos drop for one of the alien species,
which really grosses me out. It's like an eyeball and
or so it's like these tentacles they go into you
and they latch onto your eye and use your eye
to like, look, it looked like I couldn't. That's just
me gauging what the photos looked like. I could be
completely wrong, but just the idea that too, as reading
an article where they were talking about how you watch
the first Alien and you can't replicate that, just the
grossness of this thing's life cycle on. So what they
were doing with this show is they want to repeat
that process but make it new.
Speaker 3: So they're not giving you.
Speaker 2: Just like the how the aliens life cycle is, but
you're getting this with the other creatures that are involved here.
It's just it's gonna be gross and freaky and everything,
and I'm just really excited for it. I'm excited to
see how it's going to build off of everything else
we got in this universe so far.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I'm curious. I can't. I can't wait August
twenty second, it's just a month of white tailor so
and this this felt very alien heavy. But again I'm
prepping everybody. You know, Holly likes to take his time
of the shows. They end up always having a good crescendo,
but just a good time people. If it's a little slow,
who knows.
Speaker 2: But the final shot of the trailer with the alien
and the cavern just was spooky.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then on the other one, Mike mentioned Strader
Things season five fun one. Obviously we're getting this release
schedule of November, December and the New Year's Eve. Don't
know the run times. There's rumors that lost these episodes
are like two two and a half hours. But no,
that was great. I love Stranger Things. I think there's
a very variety of like the seasons, but I do.
I'm in the camp the last season was the best one.
And I think all the seasons, I don't think there's
any season that's like below a nine for me, which
is I think it's pretty good for a TV show,
you know, And I think they're ending at a good
point here. I'll say, no, it's been a long time.
But if you think about the show, it's just like
it's only been not only, but it's been five seasons. Right,
it's not a show it's gone it's weird because it's
gone on long, but it's not like in season eight
or nine. But No, I thought this was a great trailer.
Love that built de Vecna, like the song choice, like
the visuals, like everything, and I do like I think
they did a great job of I know it sounds dumb,
but some people don't always do the best when marketing things.
They did a great job of actually making us feel
like it's the final season, not just saying, oh, it's
final seasons. Just like the situations they're putting the characters
in and the situations they're showing us, it feels like
it has at stakes of Okay, we might actually lose
some people this time. So no, I'm very excited to
see what that release schedule is and maybe we'll do
some reviews for it, because we've reviewed every other season
a variety of us. But No, I thought this was
a great trailer. I actually don't need to see anymore.
I don't know if there'll be another one, but I
am no, I'm excited to see where it all goes
and how we end up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, considering we're getting three parts, right, Yeah,
so I'm looking forward to it. The trailer really really
got me more excited.
Speaker 3: And seeing Vecna and seeing.
Speaker 2: Everything else like that just looks like, Okay, the city
is kind of what our quarantine. They're just doing these
routine like portal burning sessions or something just to keep
things contained.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it looks like it's the technically this time too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's evolved like a lactas, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: How long do you think the time jump is? I
think they're gonna do like in show, like it's been
a couple of years. I think they're gonna be like,
it's gonna be a couple months, because often they're not
picking up right after, right, So.
Speaker 3: I mean, if the town is.
Speaker 2: Gated off and set up for this quarantine kind of thing,
like it could be a couple of years. I'd probably
say at least a year minimum.
Speaker 1: Okay, they see you, Okay, oh right, what are their
trails to be happy? I'll hit you with this this one.
What do you think about after the hunt?
Speaker 3: After the hunt.
Speaker 1: Or do you not watch that one, the Andrew Garfield
one Juli.
Speaker 3: Roberts, No, I missed that.
Speaker 2: One, and I swear that you wrote Wednesday in here too.
Oh no, I was missed reading. Okay, what did you
miss read?
Speaker 3: What did you I miss? Okay?
Speaker 2: So what I what I watched was I watched moretal Kombat,
Alien Earth, right, Sonya, Stranger Things, and tron Aries. I
didn't watch Hoppers because, oh man, that one went over
my head as I didn't. I didn't watch that one.
Speaker 3: But you talk, you can speak to that. And after
the hunt, after the hunt.
Speaker 1: Looks very interesting. It's uh yeah, Julia Roberts area the
burryer and Andrew Garfield and he they're like at a
college and it's Andrew Garfield plays this very looks like
for bosious kind of asshole, assholes teacher. So then they
don't show in the trailer what's true or not, but
she in anyways that he assaults her. And it's a
whole movie that Julia Roberts is in the middle of,
you know, a colleague she's very close to and a
student of hers, and it seems like it's like a
back and forth to like you know, who did what
and everything like that and it's and I feel like
they're trying to insinuate of just because you don't like
a person, you maybe shouldn't assume that they just did
that crime, right, And they're not saying he didn't do
the crime. It's just that situation of it looks bad
for him because in the real world he looks like
he's kind of an asshole, right, But it's like, just
because your asshole doesn't mean you're an assaulter. But that's
kind of situation. But then Aoa and A Barry kind
of hinted some stuff about you Roberts past. It's like, well,
I thought, because you're past, you can help me, and
she's like, well what about my past? And they cut
away and it's like, oh, what's going on there? It's
the same guy that did call me by your name
Challengers Queer. There's another one in there, the guy that
was Doingside, Luca Guadanino. So I'm looking very it looks
like it's gonna be a very intense, heavy movie dealing
with a lot of those situations of people. You should
definitely believe women and their claims, but at the same
time you have to look into them and do your
you know, the studying, but it's time you got to
have those in the right hands because we've seen many
people that take a look at these investigations and they're
not the right sources to be doing these And it's like,
did they really do this or did they just not?
Because they even say this in the trailer. One girl
just says like, oh, why couldn't she just like put
up with it like we used to, And it's like, well,
that's not the way it should be, right, But there's
many systems that do that. Hoppers, I don't know what
the plot is, but oh sorry, I don't know what
the plot is. One of the story is Taylor. The
plot was that for some reason, humans are putting their
brains into animals and controlling the animals.
Speaker 2: And it's like a farm of protest right to like
save the.
Speaker 1: Forest something like that. Yeah, and the story didn't show
that much. I actually was really enjoying the trailer. But
then they do this thing where there's a bear that's
about to eat an animal, and the person that's our
makingcaracter she's like, no, no, no, don't do that. And it's
a whole discussion between our main character, who's like a
beaver or whatever or like a damn st I don't
know what he is a bear and the animal is
gonna eat and why the bear should eat him. And
it's just a full like forty five seconds it's dialog
scene of that like that, Like it's was with jokes,
but like it kind of killed it for me, So
I don't know, I'm excited to go. I think it's
on the Ilio movie. So when they see it, the girls,
but it looks like it has some potential and they
were really hitting hard of like from the Peel they
gave you inside out too, and they went like Toy Story,
Toy Story two, Twister three, twisty four. They're really trying
to make it. Know, like, hey, if you like these movies,
because I'll see their original stuff has been struggling. So no,
it actually looked cute, so I'm I'm very excited to
see that. But on the other Disney front, tron Aris,
what do you think about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, this is one that I was really confused
on because when we saw the trailer last time, you know,
they didn't give us any information, So going into this trailer,
I was like, Okay, so what have we got?
Speaker 3: And Okay, it's just they've they've.
Speaker 2: Brought the Grid to the real world. They can fabricate
their own.
Speaker 1: Use as a weapon.
Speaker 3: Who would have t yeah.
Speaker 1: Weapon.
Speaker 2: I think there's some cool stuff in here. But it's
gonna be interesting to see how this builds off with
the second one. But I guess it makes sense because
Livia Wilde's character probably paved the way for them to
be able to do this and use this technology, right
because she came out of the game, so if I
don't know, I.
Speaker 1: Only saw it once a long time ago. So that's
why if we potentially do retroon it's been I don't
remember both trons that.
Speaker 2: Well okay, well, yeah, she she gets out with with help,
so they get her out, and so it makes sense
where here they're able to replicate and create these Grid
people in the real world, but just seem.
Speaker 1: Like disposable soldiers because that's Evan Peter's pitch, right of like,
oh he's you know, he's call these super strength all
this stuff, and then when he dies, I'll just bring
him right back. So it's just kind of like instead
of using your people, it's just always using the same
guy again and again.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, and I'm excited to see how Leto's gonna do.
Is this guy?
Speaker 1: Are you excited?
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you never know what you're gonna
get with with him. But the trailer definitely made it
seem like, you know, he's saying pretty calm and pretty.
Speaker 3: Chill and nothing too safe or well.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a computer program, so I think it
fits he's a computer soldier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Jeff Bridges that it was a computer program.
He's got some chrisma.
Speaker 3: I would say, like Clue.
Speaker 1: Definite chrisma.
Speaker 2: Clue definitely had that evil charisma. But it worked because
it was like it was Jeff Bridges with Jeff Bridges.
Speaker 1: But that's a pro. That's the problem. Taylor is like
Jeff Bridges as like he's just a character in himself.
Jared lettle Like, I know, I got my issue. I've
liked many things Jared Little has done, especially some of
the personal stuff that's finally come to light, which is
like interesting to see. I guess see how it impacts
this movie, But I just feel like every time the
trailer cut to him, doesn't matter. This is Jared Lowhi film,
just this character of the vibe he was given off.
I was like I was bored. I was like, man,
this trailer especially, there's that shot. This is why I'm
still seeing this movie because visually this just there's that
shot where let's say it's just in New York. It's
from like a bird's eye view, and it's all like
the streams of the bikes and stuff, but it's just
in the sky of New York and it's like dozens
of these bikes and everything like this. The visual effects
and the kind of incorporation of the Trong world with
the real world, they're just looking so good. And again
they even pumped it up nice nails, like doing original music.
Anytime that him this, I was like, I was I
was juice and everything looks great in this. And I
don't even mind that plot line of like using these
soldiers because they're dispendable. But just Ay and I we
went to the well, there's something I had to do
and uh, I don't know what it is, but I
feel like I have to do it. And it's I
guess it's a city where he had a family or something.
But just like every time I cut to Jared Lett,
I was like, oh, like it just it just felt
like it was a black hole charisma for me. So
I don't know, but I'll be there. I'm excited those
visuals whole. I'm really hoping this one's not disappointing. I
could be worried. But another one, this one I threw
in more just for you. I wish Kirkle was here
because I think you got kicked out this too. But
Red Sonia, what do you feel about Did you ever
see the original Red song No? I okay. It's like
a classic comic book character, not like Marvel DC, but
just like back in the I don't know, sixties, seventies, fifties.
He god, who what's Arnold played? Who's the big Oh? Conan?
So you know Conan, the Barbarian that sort of the deal.
Red Sonny is a part of that. So they did
Red Sonny a movie and Arnold was in there and stuff.
So what did you think about this? Because I feel
like this was given some vibes that Taylor would have
been loving in the early two thousands.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's exactly what this movie just was preaching, this
early two thousands vibes.
Speaker 3: Action scenes.
Speaker 2: The only thing this thing was like young Kate beckhamsale
in here in one of these Roles. I feel like
she would have been eating this role out.
Speaker 1: They got the other girl from Underworld in here, though,
did you see that that Rona Mitra? So remember the
girl that I can't remember? It's like, what's the prequel
Underworld movie? Ns? Yeah, And they have that female interest
lead in there, who like looks similar to Kate becken
Cell but not exactly. And I think they did that
purpose to trick people, but she was in there. She
was fine red so on you at one point?
Speaker 3: Oh what she really?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, okay, well that's pretty cool. I don't know
if I'm gonna rush to theaters to see this, and
if you guys are gonna like do a you know,
commentary tracker, I'll watch along.
Speaker 3: I'll take you long for that. I just don't know if.
Speaker 1: Watching that could be a good idea. Yeah, this trailer
fex wise looking a little behind, and I not to
be mean, because I've looked at it. She seems like
she's building a bit of a falling in like the horror,
like the like a smaller tier community. So good for her.
It just was when they were trying to do like
like Melinda Lutz is. So it's like I don't know
who that is, like it was like a big actress, right,
but I appreciated that. I feel like they felt like
this was like they've probably made a cheesy movie and
they just leaned right into that with the trailers. So
I did want to see this. Yes, very Scorpion King.
My super mix is Redstone trailer is a tribute to
early two thousand street DVD vibe. I agree, but this
one at least looked like it was fun. Where I
know lots of people say about the Venam movies, I
just don't have fun with those, so yeah, not the theaters,
but yeah, maybe this would be a good movie night
after ning commentary tracks, so yeah, that that could be something.
But yeah, it was definitely a movie out of time,
and we'll see what it does and what audiences gets.
But finally here we are going to talk about Mortal
Komet two off Sleep. You can go back on our
Patreon at certain tiers, we did commentary tracks for both
the originals. For the the movies, of course, and then
we did review in COVID time Mortal Kombat the first
one and now here we are. That was I think
twenty twenty one. That first one came out, is it?
Let me see mortal.
Speaker 2: I think it was twenty one sounds well right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, two one, so it's been four years. So it's
like a Batman, you know, the Batman situation, but uh,
you got Carl Urban and it's Johnny Cage. What did
you think of this trailer sequels coming out in October?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really I had a good time with this.
This seemed like it's it's not gonna be perfect by
any means, but just yeah, it looks like it's gonna
be a really, really fun time. I'm excited to see
some familiar faces, obviously, and I don't know a lot
about the Mortal Kombat world or a lot of backstory
about these characters, but there's some in here that I
really do appreciate. And it seems like they're going to
make this much more in line with the games when
it comes to like doing the moves and like the fighting,
and even then we actually have them like, hey, Mortal
Kombat is actually happening here, whereas the previous movie gosh
what was there was no moral combat.
Speaker 3: In the tournament.
Speaker 1: They're fighting, but they're just getting together. Well, we hope
that there's a tournament in this one. I don't actually
care that much. Like I get why people want the tournament.
I think in a movie, a tournament doesn't work because
then you have to kill all the characters and you
can't bring them back. In Mortal Kombat World, but yeah,
there looks to be maybe a tournament here. But you're
you're excited for this.
Speaker 2: I am, yeah, looking forward to it. This will be
a theater watch for sure. I think it's just gonna
be outrageous and zany, so I think.
Speaker 1: It will be Yeah. No, I I'll say my only
negative negative with this is man, some of the effects
in here. We're not looking good. And this is from
this is not like red Znia. We're Red Sonia watching okay,
you know Millennia Production and Millennium Productions, Like yeah, you're
you're working with what you got. This is War Brothers.
This is more of combat. That shot at the end,
we're Scorpion like cuts the guy in half. It like
that looks like early two thousand CGI. That doesn't look good.
There's I can't remember there's like a oh the environments
they're at Like Johnny Cage is talking, I assume a
Sonya blade and they're outside. It just it looks like
they're on old green screen. There's another fight too, where
there's just stuff going on. But I will say that
this looks like way more enjoyable than the first one.
Is the first one, I think they played it too serious.
I think, you know there, I get what they're going for.
But I think at first, when I heard we heard
the rumblings of Johnny Cage being the main character, I thought, oh,
that's an odd choice, like and even Carl Urban at
first like, oh, that's an all of choice and it's
been odd. But seeing this trader, it's like, oh, it's
kind of perfect. The fish out of water scenario, they
did that a little bit of the first one, right,
but this perfect like just a movie star. I like
the storyline that he's like an aging movie star. He's
lost his way you talked about in the discord. But
I love the you know, the mission apostle rip off,
Citizen Cage, like all these fun little puns are doing
with Johnny Cage, And I think this just works as
far as like having like a lovable douchebag thrown into
the mortal combat and just see how it goes. And
usually stuff that would work for me, like when there's
like a RockA or whatever that you know species is
and he's like, I gotta cut you up, and he's
just like not the face and then like he starts
backflipping usually transmit that didn't work for it. That worked
for me. I was like, you know what. And I
do think that's why they got Carl Urban because I
don't think he's like who I would have thought of
for Johnny Cage, but Carl Urban won is a actor
and I think two, he'll make you invest in him.
I don't know about everybody else, but just like this
little stuff, like everyon looking very serious showtime, Like I
think this wee looks miles miles. As far as being
more fun, Is it gonna be better? I don't know,
but I do think it's gonna be a good time.
And I think this was the route, the good route
to go. Now we just got to see the movie
and see if they delivered that way. But yeah, we'll
find out. But yeah, that's in October. We'll definitely be
reviewing that. And yeah that's our newscast. Anything else here
before we get out of here, I got nothing, you
got nothing, So yeah, like I said, we do have Dexter,
Me and Kirklan will be reviewing that tomorrow sans Taylor
and then so now, yeah, everybody, the draft and the
Superman rankings will be coming in July. Here, we just
have to get together because some people are sick and
some people are putting stuff on the calendar being I digress.
That's what happens here at Geek first, but thank you
very much to tuning in next. I'm not sure a
Weekly Geek was supposed to be Me Taylor on the Tuesday,
but I might see it because if Kirkling and Dylan
are feeling better, maybe this was this is a GV episode,
but maybe we'll do the four Well yeah, well no,
I meant maybe we'll do like a format cast then
because we were supposed to for tonight, so you know,
try to make up for that. So we'll see what's happened.
It's busy time, but thank you everybody in live chat.
Thank you to everybody that's listening after the fact. Yeah,
tune in this weekend. We got Dexter, we got Me
and the Gimmick Boys or Junior our Gmode season. We'll
have yeah, dynamic duels out, you got other stuff, so yeah,
thank you very much promise you were here for this.
Next it'll not be borne
